Ni:v Y01.K. Aug. IS. 11. Dun .v, Co.'s weekly review of trade. Issued toduy. says; Tho now tariff bill, if slpied by the president as expected, provides 11 definite basis for business. No sup-

,...(:.! legislation Is thought possi

ble until next year at least. Large improvement has been expi-eted from uny settlement, the more U'cause of 'avast amount of business deferred from week to week in the hope of more definite conditions. The rush of such business, or even a part of it, might easily double transactions for a time. It is not to be overlooked that the effect of uewduties upon many branches of industry and trade is problematical, and may be determined only after some months' of experience; and meanwhile

the serious injury to corn and some other conditions exercise a restraining influence. While it is not wise to look

for a great "'boom," there is warrant for a reasonable and prudent hopefulness. It is too early to look for effects of the new situation in the great industries, but the gradual recovery which has appeared for some time is seen in a better demand lor products. Speculation in wool has been stopped. and the sales, which have been o.'.r.'liJ.IO pounds for the week, and 14,."13,1"0 for two weeks of August, against 3.3117,100 last year, and 1C,3S.1,:500 in 1S32. naturally' diminished on Wednesday and Thursday, as it is expected that the recent advance may be lost, though . . , ii....

ties, with free wool until January 1, orders are expected to If governed hy the consuming power of the peoplewith the accumulated business so long deferred, and while recent trade has been enough to crowd the mills at work on some specialties, it has been far short of the capacity of all the work's in the country. Makers will be pressed within the next week to put prices on spring goods, of which a few lines are opening. Cotton manufacturers have been carrying extraordinary stocks of goods for the country, and the strike threatened at Nov.- Red ford will not alarm them, but

the reduction of wages seems likely to Ik accepted at Fall River. A smart increase in transactions is reported, buyers and sellers having at last a

common basis for judgment. Resumption by iron and steel work's which was stopped by the strikes, continues to depress prices of some finished products, but with more furnaces opera t ing, prices of pig iron are not lower. Comparisons given to-day show a fall in prices ranging from "-'O to 4 1 per cent, in iron and its products since October. MID, which sutliciently accounts f'U- tin idleness of more than a third of the works. The demand for structural forms seems smaller, does

not Increase for railroad use. though traffic improves, but for some other products is better. The boot and shoe industry leads all others in recovery from depression, and shipments from Roston for two weeks are 47 per cent, larger than last year. Demands for speedy delivery "and numerous sales from stock indi

cate that jobbers arc carrying short supplies. Speculation in corn has Ik'cu very active, the price falling 4 cents, rising 3'., and fulling.', with varying reports of injury, which in some of the great I'ocii states is undoubtedly severe.

While western receipts in two weeks have been only i!.4.'G.r7S bushels, against 4,378,103 last year, the high price explains imports of only .111, S.1 bushels, against ,03L!i08 in the same weeks last year. Pork has advanced .10 cents and lard 31 cents per 100 pounds, with justification in the injury to corn. Wheat Is about 1 cent lower, western receipts being very heavy for two weeks, 10,00. 41S bushels, against .1,!H0..1S1 last year; and it is claimed that Minnesota and the two Dakotas will yield PJ.I.OOO.OOO bushels, the second largest yield in

their history. Unless exports increase speedily and

largely, the financial situation may grow difficult In July imports exceeded exports 5P-,.137.!H1, mainly because of the heavy sugar movement. With lower duties the arrival of merchandise to meet the long-delayed demand will be large, while even phenomenally low prices do not take out products "freely at present. In July PJ.s'OIjr.O goltl went abroad to balance importation of goods, but the outgo has ceased, not because exports mate

rially enlarge. The treasury has been taking ill large sums-$fi.04',',lSs from internal revenue already this month, mainly from the tax oil whisky, so that with only SV Kiii.0.13 from customs, the total receipts exceed last yeurV, but receipts of goltl are insignificant, and the reserve In the treasury is but slightly over $.13.000,000.

THE WAR IN THE EAST. Latent New by Steamer from riilii , .1stpun and Con-it, strongly .Japiuicm. In Tenor.

Vit ToitiA. R. C, Aug. 18. When the steamship Kniprcss of Japan, which has just arrived here, left Yokohama, news of war and rumors of blockade filled the air. All along the Chinese coasts beacons ami buoys were Iwlng removed and numerous merchantmen, the Empress of China included, had in consequence come to grief. Railway ami telegraph lines were being hastily constructed in both China ami Japan to facilitide speedy transportation of troops. Torpedoes had been laid at the entrance of all the rivers and further supplies of aruis'tind iiiniuumtioti were being ordered. Kxeeptioit-

ally stringent press regulations had been adopted to prevent any but officially corrected news being published. Hence it is that all advices by the Kinpress of Japan are strongly Japanesy in tenor. The chief items of interest in connect ion with the movement of the navy chronicle the capture of the Chinose dispatch boat Hang-Yang. Li Hung Chang's favorite; the shelling of the Chinese cruiser Tsi-Yiicn, with a loss of .dxtcen lives, and the sinking of a Japanese cruiser of the first class by the Tsi-Yueu, sister ship of the ChenYuen, commanded by Admiral Lai Pultseng, The Japanese newspapers leave the name of the lost u-ulsor in blank, and only refer to her destruction in the most casual way in obx-urii I corners of their issues.

Strong efforts are being made by the Japanese to throwall the blame fortius Kow Shung affair upon piratical Chinese troops 011 board, who forced ('apt. Gal worthy to east himself into the sea to escape being murdered at their hands, and assert that England has the strongest possible claim for damages against China in connection with t the Kow Shungs's losii. The Corean king on the 27th of July released from jail live Important pristiers of state, the sistet-in-lnw and niece of Roku Yai Ko, the mother of Jo Sai Ilitoti. and the mother and daughter of Jo Ko Hun. who were imprisoned in connection with the rebellion of IsSt. It is generally K-lieved thnt Roku Yul Ko will be recalled by the king and appointed to some important position. It is ronortcd that the Corean

government has officially intimated to Japan that they will promptly sever all connection with China. Preparations are rapidly advancing for the bombarding of the Woo Sung forts, and among the rumors prevailing in Shanghai, when the last mail left, was one to the effect that the defenses of the approach, to Shun Kai Kating, where the great wall of China meets the sea, had been greatly strengthened. Two of the Armstrong alphabetical boats and two other gunboats were lying in the vicinity, in obedience to instructions from Viceroy Li Hung Chang, while, 2..100 men are Mug added to the land garrisons. This is strong enough to prevent Shan Kai Kating being crushed by any small Japanese naval force that may escape the vigilance of the Chinese cruiser in the gulf of Pechili.

Tim sale of cool at Eching. Formosa, hus been forbidden to any outsider, the Chinese government requiring the whole supply. The Sai Ring colliery is turning out 2,000 tons of coal per day, and the coal dust at the mines is now being made into bricks. The Pel Yang licet has been divided into two squadrons, one under Admiral Ting-In-Ytien, cruising in the gulf of Pechili, und another under Admiral Li Yai Paitseng, in Chen Yuen, which conveyed the transports which left about the 2.1th of last month for Corea. The third division is believed to Ik- at Talleiiwen. ready to escort to Corea, the second army corps, under Ren. Sung, of 20,000 men. Most of the troops appear to have liewi landed at the Yalu river. The Foo Chow fleet, while ostensibly making a demonstration against Loo Chew, is to cruise between Formosa and the mainland.

The Shanghai correspondent of the Central News says that by special decree the Japanese imperial government has authorized a loan of $.10,000,000.
